PAGE TWO MEDFORD MATL'TTtfBUNE. MEDFOKD. OREGON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1934. RECORD HEAT IN FIRST FEW DAYS Monthly meteorological notes for September, as compiled by W. J. Hutchison, local meteorologist, show a month of mostly dry warm weather and rather uneventful as to outstand ing features. Clear skies prevailed with considerable smoke from forest fires. High temperatures marked the flrnt five days, followed during the balance of the month by moderate and somewhat variable temperatures. The mean of dally maximum tem peratures was several degrees higher than average and dally mlnlmums averaged very close to normal. The highest temperature of 104 degrees on the 2nd equaled the September record maximum for Medford for the past 24 years. A minimum tempera ture of 34 degrees on the 26th was the lowest for the month. The dally range In temperature averaged 37.9 degrees and the greatest dally range was 48 degrees on the 18th. Precipitation totaled 0.31 Inches, all of which fell In the three-day period 33nd to 24th, and la short of normal by 0.21 Inches. Although rains were light they were freshening and an aid to fire fighting In the forests, but not sufficient to greatly benefit agriculture. The prevailing dry weather was conducive to fires In the surrounding brush and timbered areas. Periods of low humidity on several afternoons created a high fire hazard and oc casional small fires were observed to have started during these times. Smoke from the burning areas hung over Medford the greater portion or the month, at times reducing hori zontal visibility to about 4 or B miles. Wind velocities wero generally light and moderate with northwest the prevailing direction. Total wind movement amounted to 4107 miles at an average hourly velocity of 6 7 miles. A maximum velocity of 28 miles per hour was recorded on the 22nd. Light frost was observed on the morning of the 25th and a heavier deposit occurred on the 20th. Some tender vegetation was reported in jured slightly. Girl Author of 'Now In November' Wants to Write Book for Children so Max. Mln. Ma. Pre.

LOUIS Iff) A wistful, almost child-like person, who writes of sim ple and tender tragedy this la Jo sephine Johnson, whose new novel. "Now In November," has moved staid critics. Miss Johnson, who lives with her mother and sisters In a suburban stone house which might be old, but Isn't, began writing verse at the age of 16. A magazine published some. She has been writing ever since, her work including two unpublished books, short stories and verse. The publishers, she explains, were "cold" to her previous books, written for children. Mkes to Paint, Too Bhort stories have been printed In Scrfcbner'a and the At inn tic Monthly. Her ambition is to write and Illus trate a successful book for children. There are many contrasts In this glrlf 34, who lives on a hill-top In the sun and writes of lives below her horizon. She paints, too, and some of her water colors were exhibited last sea son at the St. Louis Artists' Guild. "Painting's the more fun," she ex plains. "Writing is hard work al though there's the pleasure of some thing created In either, once you vc begun." Didn't Want A Degree Miss Johnson's education has been liberal and undlctated. After graduat ing from high school she attended a girls' college, spent a year at the 8 Louis School of Fine Arts, part of Washington university, and followed this with four years at the university proper. She never obtained a college degree. "I'd not need a degree except to teach, and I did not want to teach," she ex plains. Missouri Scene Depleted She has a favorite riding horse, swims and wanders about the coun tryslde. St. Loulsans will recognise much In "Now In November" the Missouri countryside and Its blustery clouds empty of rain. Its mortgages and Its milk strike." Likes 'Everthln(r Aspects of Missouri farm life, ap pearing In the novel, were gleaned from close observation about her home and In a visit to the Boone county, Mo., home of a relative. The authoress confesses she Is not sure how she acquired the essential tragedy which fills the new novel. She hasn't read philosophy, "I like everything," she said, "from Katherlne Mansfield to Sinclair Lew la." "Isn't it true that anywhere, when you dig deep enough, you find trage dy?" she edited. flit 4- ft -X' ALLEGED SLAYER Gertrude Ottlnger of the Jackson Hot Springs, In a suit filed yester day against Lath el Stevens, Allen Gorble and F. K. Gorble, wife and husband, seeks 41,000 general dam ages and $500 punitive damages fori the alleged "wanton and malicious killing" of an Australian shepherd ! dog September 33 last. The plaintiff charges that the dog, duty licensed, "was carefully trained to many important and useful er rands" In the transaction of the Jackson Hot Springs business, and the- services rendered by the dog were "highly beneficial and of a useful character, and of monetary value."

JOSEPMINC JOWN50N At 24, Josephine Johnson is the author of a successful novel with a tender, tragic note running through It, but her real ambition, she savs. Is to write a successful book for children and illustrate It herself. She pnliits, too, and finds It more fun titan writing, and she finds time to take hikes and ride horseback as well. Ngws I (Continued Com page one) to section 7a. Then Mr. Wilson named commission which recommended j labor boards for each industry (such as Mr. Roosevelt now Is working on). The report also recommended prohl- bttlon of strikes In vital Industries. That report la gathering dust In some remote government archive today. It never was acted on, and few people c&n- be found who even remember It. Another effort was made by Mr. Hoover In 1030. He asked cessation of strikes and wage cuts and got what was supposed to be an agreement. Speaking to the American Federation of Labor, a year later, he inadvertently confessed what a flop the agreement was by pointing out there had been 300 strikes in the past year. Mr. Roosevelt has been able to do several things his predecessors never were able to do. He may put over rTH6LUtlN 1 1 OB.

The Indian bureau went back to the Interior department. Then Mr. Mof fett predded the soll-eroslon service for additional space, but the erosion lsts had no place to go.

WILL BE GIVEN AT All-American' Girl Appetites are often temperaments; affairs requiring coaxing and an oc casional bribe. One frequently effec tive Is a spicy seasoning that will make the tongue tingle, or a deftly mixed blending of delicious apices. "Seasoning la truly the secret of flavorful food,' according to Miss Hester Heath, clever cookery author ity, who comes here next Wednesday to present the Mall Tribune's Happy Kitchen program for local housewives, at the Craterlan theater for three afternoons. The woman who knows bow to properly use spices, extracts and flav orings to make delicate seasoning, may well be happy, because she has the knack that makes a dish, taste "Just right." Seasonings vary with nationalities. Early chefs of distinction In France were Italians. It was not long, how ever, before the more delicate Gallic palate toned down the strong Italian flavoring. In France the zenith of seasoning, the real kitchen magic, has been attained. Englishmen are out of doors folk, eat coarser foods, and have tastes naturally Inclined toward wild game. As a result, strong, tangy sauces gar nish the majority of English dishes Instead of the milder oil dressings of France. In Germany, the Individual taste of the community was reflected in the seasoning habits of Its cooks and housewives. The vast variety of Ger- i man sausages were Inspired by the , endeavor to match the tesxture of beer favored by the particular community. "Wursts" of strong ingredients match- j ed the tart, bitter beers of some sec-1 tlons. Veal-sausage and braunsch-l welger suited the lighter drinks of other sections. I Many Germans declare that the true ! German cook Is able to offer a differ- I ent flavor of soup lor every day lr. the year. Schmlerkase, or cottage cheese, came Into Its popularity In Germany because It offered an Ideal background to the highly flavored pumpernickel and rye bread in which German bakers reign supreme. America has been made the melt ing pot for these and many other nations, and as a result, the Amer ican house wire has as her heritage the combined flavoring and season ing possibilities of every nation in the world. However. American cooks have been a long time availing themselves of these myriad possibilities. No doubt this was largely due to the fact that English dishes predominated In the older sections of the country. Also, native early American dishes. such as buckwheat cakes, corn pone, corn on the con and pork and beans did not work in readily with the ex tracts and condiments which formed 1 ? t X ' WILL ENTERTAIN HIGH Member, of Canton Sliktyou and !
